A one woman solo performance; one act of 90min. Presented the first week in English, and the second week in French.

Joan
of Arc led an army to victory at age seventeen. At eighteen, she
arranged the coronation of a king. At nineteen, she went up against the
entire Catholic church … and lost. Her trial lasted five months, and
the testimony by witnesses was carefully transcribed by notaries.
Twenty years after her death, a new trial was authorized, and again
detailed records were kept. There was testimony by her childhood
playmates, by her parents, by the women who slept with her, by the
soldiers who served under her, by the priests who confessed her, by
those who witnessed and administered her torture. She is the most
thoroughly documented figure of the fifteen century. So why then do the
myths about the simpleminded peasant girl, the pious virgin, still
prevail in the history books?

Joan returns to share her story
with a contemporary audience. She reveals her experience with the
highest levels of church, state, and military, as she unmasks the brutal
misogyny behind these male dominated institutions. The text is inspired
by the source material of Vita Sackville-West’s biography on the
complete translations of the trial transcripts. Here Joan attempts,
through subtle movement and raw expressive dialogue, to remove the
myth from the coats of venir of colourful folklore that have covered
‘Herstory' in 'History’ by the distortions and trivializations of male
historians.
